EFF, in conjunction with the Consumer Federation of America and the
American Civil Liberties Union, coordinates and sponsors the Communications
Policy Forum (CPF). CPF enables nonprofit organizations, computer and
communications firms, and government policymakers to come together in a
nonpartisan setting to discuss communications policy goals and strategies.

EFF works with local organizations that support online communications
issues. In September of 1993, EFF will cosponsor a cryptography conference
with a group in Austin, Texas. Earlier this year, EFF sponsored a summit
of groups from around the country to discuss common goals. We also
participate in an online mailing list for organizations that share our
interests.

EFF is a funder and organizer of the annual Computers, Freedom and Privacy
conference, where academics, civil libertarians, law enforcement officials
and computer users all meet to discuss the privacy implications of
communicating online. Each year at the conference, EFF presents its
Pioneer awards to individuals who have made significant contributions to
computer communications.
